About

Dr. Samuel Barth (2nd year T32 awardee) received his PhD in Neuroscience from Wake Forest University working with Dr. Kimberly Raab-Graham. His research examines how mTOR dysregulation affects GABAergic synaptic formation and elimination in a neurodevelopmental disorder called Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). As a UNC CIDD T32 Fellow, Dr. Barth examines the molecular contributions to Dup15q and Angelman syndromes while working with Dr. Ben Philpot. His research will disambiguate how differential expression of Ube3A contributes to Dup15q and Angelman syndrome pathology.
